I've had to step away from food photography, and I’m sharing the real reason why.
This is the most personal episode I’ve ever recorded — a story about loss, identity, intuition, unexpected change, and the bizarre ways life can completely unravel everything you thought you were.
Over the last two years, my life transformed in ways I never could’ve imagined, forcing me into the path I was actually meant to follow.
This episode is raw, unexpected, emotional, and unlike anything I’ve shared before.

This week, I’m sharing 2 ways to create powerful photos without props. 
How to think on your feet, tools to use, and get creative with working with no props. How to use limited props to your advantage, and perhaps, even create a new style.
Free yourself from the idea of using props all the time, and create visual stories by tapping into different techniques, whether it’s composition or lens.
Here are two completely different ways to work without props to match your style and the food subject, so you’re never at a loss for ideas.
Sometimes it’s a personal exploration of creativity and other times, it might be a client's brand style not to shoot with props. How do you step into a place of confident creativity to deliver their vision?
Or what if you’re in the middle of a client shoot and they decide to shift the concept to fewer props? How would you tackle that challenge on the spot?
Every photographer should have some tricks and techniques up their hip pocket. And this episode will give you those creative ideas to keep forever.

This week on the podcast, I’m sharing key Photography techniques to make sure the hero doesn’t fall flat but stands out in your photos.
I share ways to make sure the hero takes the center stage and isn’t mistaken for the sidekick. 
Composition techniques that make sure that your hero is not in a spot it shouldn’t be in, and lighting concepts that you may not be aware of.
Simple but powerful principles that can make the hero stand tall, get the spotlight, and command attention, as your photo deserves.

Keeping basic, key principles in mind and being aware of how they’re playing out in your photo can make sure your hero is always the star.
You’ll have the viewer hooked, create a strong visual story, the photo will look cohesive and intentional, and your photography will be at an advanced level. Your photo will make an impact.
It will not only be a work of beauty for other creatives to get inspired by but also catch the attention of brands, who will immediately be able to visualise how you’ll work with their products. 
But when the miss is embedded in composition or the subtleties of lighting, it goes unseen by most creators and leaves them wondering.
Making the hero shine doesn’t require fancy gear or complicated techniques. It requires awareness & technique - the skills you already have.
